Featured Help with Secessionist S.P. Spoon

Hi-
I wonder if the collective you could help me with this silver plated spoon. Length is about 8-1/4". Marks are 20 and a cross-like device. The design is Vienna Secessionist I think and handsome. I understand the 20 means the thickness of the silver plating and that 20 is not thick. Anyone know that mark? Or the designer? Thanks.

 

It reminds me of Charles Rennie Mackintosh designs, the same period as Secessionist. They influenced one another, as did designers in other countries.

 

Yes.

 

It is identified as a WMF pattern here. It does have WMF marks, unlike yours. I would be all over that cake server if I saw it in the wild. Killer piece!

I'd add that to my blade collection !!!!!!!!

 

Thanks, verybrad. That cake server is a knockout. Same pattern for sure. Still need to know more.

 

The spoon cleaned up.

 

Beautiful!
